Utan Bisaya (Boiled Vegetables)

Utan bisaya is a simple Filipino vegetable dish that is composed of a variety of veggies. The vegetables are boiled in water and sometimes fish is added. It has a close similarity with other Philippine regional dishes such as dinengdeng or inabraw (Ilocos region), bulanglang (CALABARZON), and laswa ( Western Visayas).

This dish might look plain and simple, but it is packed with vitamins and nutrients that can boost our health (as long as you limit your rice intake). The fish in this recipe along with the long green pepper are optional ingredients. I added these because I want my dish to be tastier and spicy.

This dish always make me appreciate the natural taste of vegetables. Since it does not contain any seasoning other than salt, I am able to enjoy eating the vegetables in its simplest form.
